Mudik... The Exodus

The busies weeks of the year have started as millions of people are leaving urban areas across the nation for their hometowns to celebrate Idul Fitri (Moslem Holy Day), known as Mudik.
Mudik derived from "udik" which means upstream, mountains, village. The people who homecoming to their village is called "meng-udik", then shortened as mudik. The reason why millions of people who works far away from their hometown, want to back to their hometown at Idul Fitri are to cure the homesickness,  to enjoy Idul fitri with their families, to enjoy the long holiday :)
The annual tradition of mudik is means to strengthen family relationship, to meet the member of families who live far away from the hometown. The annual traffic congestion become an annual template news :D
But, people never mind the traffic congestion,the limited public transportation, at least they enjoy the journey.. The know that one of the happiest thing is together with families in their hometown :)

Using a truck with temporary tent as mudik transportation.. Its very long-long journey,
but for kids..its really fun journey ^^

Mudik using a pick-up with temporary tent is really not comfort but there is not another choices...
